Steps

1

Obtain their address. If you want to send email instead of an actual letter, find their email address. Search the internet for an official fan site as their preferred fan mail address is usually listed there.

If you are sending fan mail on wikiHow, click the link at the bottom of the article to open a page that will automatically send your message to the article authors.

2

Start with the salutation. This is where you will establish whether your letter is formal "Dear Mr X", or informal "Hey Pam".

3

Plan and write your content. Are you writing to compliment a specific thing they did? Are you writing a general "I love you" letter? Write what you feel. If you love that celebrity explain why, for example.

4

End your letter. Quite often general letters end with "Best regards", while fan mail ends with "Your biggest fan".

Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it.
For example:Don't say: Eat more fats.Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

Tips

Try to make your letter to stand out as this will increase the likelihood that it is read. For emails, type something interesting in the subject like "About your show on the 23 of September...". Or, if you are sending a letter, buy or make a special envelope, decorate it, use a special stamp, etc.

Don't forget to include your return address on the actual letter. Who knows, you might actually get a reply.
